Cultural Differences Between Brazil And The United States

Brazil X United States

It is known that countries in the world have their differences; and talking about Brazil and the United States is in the same line. Overall, the culture in these two big countries is the main contrast between them. People from both countries may like or dislike their own country or the other, but it is impossible to say which country is better because it varies from person to person. However, it is impossible not to realize the big differences in the culture of Brazil and United States. Lifestyle, Food, and Security are the biggest differences of the countries when viewed against each other. Lifestyle is, maybe, the most different point among Brazil and the United States. While in the United States people have well
Basically, in the USA, we almost can only find fast-food restaurants, which some people ironically call "fat-food", because the quantity of fat in one meal is nonsense. Otherwise, when you go out in Brazil looking for something to eat, you can find a bunch of different places, including fast-food. In general, Brazil provides a bigger diversity of food. You can find an amount of different restaurants of Italian food, Brazilian Food, Arab Food, and even American Food. For breakfast, Americans, in general, eat a lot of egg, hamburgers, bacon, and drink a lot of soft drinks. Brazilians prefer more healthy foods like fruits, cereal, and milk. For lunch, Americans have fried chicken, fried fish, and all kind of fried food you can imagine. In Brazil, people try to have fried food only once or twice a week, rarely three times. I would not say that they care so much about their health, but it is cultural; they "learned" that way. For dinner, Brazilians vary a lot. Sometimes they have a light meal sometimes they do not; while Americans keep eating fried Chicken, fried fish, fried pork, or whatever they fry. This is not generalized. It is not everybody in the US that eats egg and bacon everyday, but most people do; and of course, in Brazil, some people have a menu more likely an American person, but that is unusual. Most Brazilian people who go to the United States feel the difference between these two types
The economy also has developed differently in both countries. In the US, the economic growth is much superior than in Brazil, where most politicians would steal money from the country once they were in power, and did not think of managing the economy to create funds to spend on public reforms. The weather is also a little contrasted. In Brazil, it is not as cold as the US in the winter; the weather is more tropical and humid. In the summer, both countries are very hot, but, still, Brazil is more humid, so rains more. We can keep talking about differences between Brazil and the United States, but we will never elect one that is better than the other if you ask people's opinion around the world. Opinions differ from country to country, from groups to groups, from person to person. It does not mattes which people prefer or not; if it is Brazil with the light winter and "kindly" people, or United States with the strong police or better life
